I couldn't find cherry chips, so I used butterscotch chips as suggested. They were easy to make, but soooooooo sweet. Not my favorite, but my friends loved them.

Old family recipe that is simple to make yet looks very colorful and delicious to the taste! You can find cherry chips at local department/grocery stores and dollar stores, usually shelved with the chocolate chips. Have also experienced "loose" pink layer so cook 10 minutes stirring constantly up to and while it boils. Per recipe on the chips bag, added half the peanuts with addition of cherry chips and the other half with the chocolate/peanut butter mixture.

I have always had confidence in 5/5 star recipes and hardly ever dislike what I make, but this one is just not a keeper for us. Unless my cherry chips were just bad quality, these flavors are way too sweet and don't mix very well (choc/pb/cherry) Ended up, dumping the cherry layer out and eating the pb/choc. Also, this recipe doesn't seem to list what to do with the peanuts, even though I used nuts under choc. Sorry!

Very good & very rich. I didn't have peanuts, but I did use chunky peanut butter. I can see where the addition of salted peanuts would help cut the sweetness. We really enjoyed this, but the remainder is going to the office tomorrow!

YUMMY! This candy tastes very close to the candy bar. The only change I made was that I put a chocolate layer on both top and bottom. I followed the recipe for the top chocolate layer but omitted the nuts. I poured this in my 8 x 8 pan first and allowed it to cool before adding the cherry layer and finishing with the top chocolate/nut layer.

This is one of my favorite candies from when I was a kid. Years later, it's still my favorite. I thought the recipe was lost after my grandmother died, as no one outside my family I've talked to has ever heard of it. I'm absolutely delighted to find such a wonderful recipe again.
